Pop star Taylor Swift has become the latest target of AI generated fake nude images.
The images that were circulating on X infuriated Swift’s fans, who made the effort to report them, while also trying to kill the trend.
Swifties began another trend: Protect Taylor Swift, under which they’re actively reporting any account on the platform that posts the said images.
One Swiftie took to X to write: “PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT !!!! i hope she sues tbh, but that's one account down !!! if anyone sees other pages reposting those "taylor swift ai" images or creating new ones, please lmk so we can send the brigade over to mass report”
Another argued that the social media platforms should take a strict approach to such content: “Well it's time that Twitter and TikTok just took a no nonesense approach to this crap. It's not that hard to do if there's a will....How far will capitalism go before it says ENOUGH…”
A third wrote: “The craziest part is twitter feminists disregard her plight by going “well she’s a white billionaire!” like EXACTLY!! it’s still happening to her despite those things…almost makes you wonder just how pervasive misogyny is”
A fourth agreed that Swift’s financial status shouldn’t stop people from supporting her against the offensive images: “she’s a white billionaire” is never an excuse to spread ai images of sexualizing women PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT”
The X accounts that shared the images are now down, thanks to the reports from Swifties and other supporters’ efforts.
